The 37-year-old TV star wants the presenting duo to say sorry for questioning her professionalism on 'Dancing On Ice' after rumours suggested she'd kept the show's cast and crew waiting while she napped.

Gemma told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I've been told on the rumour mill that Phil and Holly have been told off, but a public apology would go a long way.

"I haven't seen them yet - obviously I'll see them at the studio, but I'd like an intervention before the show starts. We need to find the culprit responsible for giving them this false information."

Holly and Phil recently discussed the situation with Gemma on 'This Morning'.

She said: "I love Gemma and she's great on the show. But there has to be a bit of professionalism that comes into any work you do."

And Phil added: "The entire studio was standing there waiting.

"'Where is Gemma?' for five, 10 minutes ... 'Oh she's having a nap.'"

Gemma worries that their comments will undermine her chances on the show.

She explained: "I'm not looking forward to this week at all. What has happened could really affect my voting. It could be the last week I'm in the show because of how difficult it's going to be to do a good performance."
